Jose Peseiro led the Super Eagles of Nigeria to the final of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations tournament
Jose Peseiro’s tenure as head coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria officially concluded after the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations tournament, Soccernet.ng reports.
There have been reports indicating that the Portuguese coach intends to depart from his role due to ongoing contract disputes with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), which has left him unpaid for several months.
Despite the impressive performance of the Super Eagles during the 2023 AFCON, there are conflicting reports about whether Peseiro was offered a new contract by the NFF. However, it appears he has opted to reject any such offer.
This has led to concerns within the Nigerian football community regarding the 63-year-old manager’s future with the team.
Soccernet.ng understands that Peseiro is being heavily courted by Egyptian club Zamalek and the Algerian national team, impressed by his leadership that led the Super Eagles to the AFCON final.
In a potential move reminiscent of the Super Falcons’ coach Randy Waldrum, Soccernet.ng learned that Peseiro may consider balancing his role with the Super Eagles alongside a club management position.
The situation surrounding Peseiro’s contract remains unclear, with reports indicating the NFF’s desire to continue with him as head coach.
However, former Super Eagles player Emmanuel Amuneke has expressed his availability for the role if Peseiro’s tenure comes to an end.
